Mallard, domestic male

Radio Road, Redwood Shores

A couple of us who saw this handsome duck at first thought it might be a hybrid (Mallard x Shoveler?) but from the photo, it looks to be just a domestic Mallard, mixing the white-breasted brown variety with a typical male (see the examples on page 89 of Sibley).
